Nope- always some grassroots thing with like 10 people but it never gets traction.
This upcoming TA will tell more. If it's garbage then maybe a union will make more sense. If it's good then why get a union when we get just about the same results without paying dues.
My personal opinion - regionals make the gains the majors get possible. It happens in many professions. Entry level people at the bottom of the career field do the work while those at the top of the field reap the benefits. Seeing how well union negotiations went for Mesa and Horizon and how many jobs were saved by the unions at TSA and Compass what is the point of paying dues to an organization that has made it's priorities (mainline) crystal clear.
